It’s Emmy time again when all the sitcom stars don their finery and take to the Nokia theatre in sizzling LA. While the weather may have been scorching the style left much to be desired. It really was all a bit, well, boring.

The little black dress, a wardrobe staple for us all, made numerous appearances on the red carpet last night. Heidi Klum dared to bare almost all in a tiny Marchesa mini dress while Kelly Osbourne opted for a vintage inspired Tony Ward number.

It’s the red carpet, it’s Hollywood so where is all the sparkle?! Thankfully Clare Danes did not disappoint in a floor sweeping Armani Prive nude number. Simple, but enough glitz to catch our eye. Staying with nude hues was Elizabeth Moss who chose the perfect figure hugging Donna Karen dress for her. How memorable was it though? This seems to have been the disappointment of the night: while nobody got it terribly wrong, everybody played it safe.

Well, there is at least one exception to the latter: Lauren Graham, what were you thinking?! A slit up the side, baggy blouse on top, it all just made for a definite fashion faux pas.

It wasn’t all bad however with stand outs such as Anna Paquin wearing a black but heavily embellished Alexander McQueen dress. While it was not the most popular choice of the evening among some fashion critics at least she showed us something different. Here at STELLAR towers there was a definite favorite: January Jones stood out in a vivid blue Versace number complete with cone-shaped bra cups. If it wasn’t for those black pumps!
